“…Literature on goal setting has identified the importance of ensuring meaningfulness to the client rather than substituting the clinician's values onto the client [8]. As this relates to upper-limb prostheses, the presence of functional training increases the rate of integration of the device into the individual's daily life from 50 to 90 percent [9].…”

Abstract-Based on recent advances in prosthetic technology available for individuals with partial hand loss or deficiency, research is needed to best ensure the acceptance of these devices. Additionally, this population is subjected to higher risks of overuse syndromes. With improved technological advances in prosthetic devices, clients can engage in more complex activities with less compensation. The purpose of this study was to describe the tasks identified as both difficult and important to individuals with partial hand loss. Recommendations will be provided regarding matching users' individualized goals with considerations in prosthetic design, functional training, programming, and adaptive equipment.

“…The individual ways occupations are experienced and performed varies from person to person, and therefore, meaning is attributed by each person. Eschenfelder (2005) found that there are often commonalities of occupations, allowing for categorisation. Similarly, Ruddick (1994) describes mothers as sharing routines and activities, while being different individually and across cultures.…”

IntroductionThis review aimed to retrieve and collate a list of culturally relevant mothering occupations in the New Zealand context with mothers positioned as experts of their experience. Mothering occupations influence wellbeing and this study aimed to better inform on the daily occupations mothers participate in that contribute to feelings of maternal confidence.MethodsTwo main sources were used to identify mothering occupations: A systematic search of mothering literature, and participant additions. The first step involved mothering literature being searched, collated and condensed. The second step involved presenting the compiled list of mothering occupations to a panel of mothers for review and to invite additions. Mothers were asked to consider the occupations they participate in that evoke feelings of confidence and mastery in their mothering. Fifteen mothers with infants 12 to 18 months old were recruited, eight contributed to the mothering occupations list.ResultsA list of 203 items was collated then condensed based on the inclusion criteria for the participant group, and was tracked in a table. The list was reduced to 36 items. Eight participants added to the mothering occupations list, bringing the total number of items to 47. Mothers indicated through their contributions to the list that some types of mothering occupations are more relevant to them when considering feelings of maternal confidence and mastery. The mothers of this study indicated that connecting with their infant, their culture and nature are of high value to them.ConclusionDeveloping a list of culturally relevant and relatable mothering occupations is a significant undertaking, highlighting the subjective experiences of mothers. Mothering occupations are vast and influenced by context. Mothers valuing some types of occupation more in relation to maternal confidence indicates a role for occupational therapy with this population to support with engagement and participation in occupations that promote wellbeing.

“…Introduction A fundamental component of occupational therapy philosophy and practice involves recognising the importance of meaningful roles and occupations. Occupational therapists seek to facilitate the development of skills which allow individuals to achieve a balance of self-care, productivity and leisure occupations (Eschenfelder 2005), as a means of promoting health and general wellbeing. Occupation is multidimensional and benefits both the body and the mind; this has a greater effect than activities that just address physical or mental elements (Frances 2006).…”

This critical reflection on practice uses case study examples from the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability (RHN), a national medical charity, to illustrate the importance of meaningful physical activity and the challenges faced when facilitating this for individuals with complex neurodisability. It demonstrates the role that occupational therapists play, and the importance of multidisciplinary team working to enable these individuals to return to activities and roles that are personally fulfilling. Finally, it challenges the traditional view of physical activity, highlighting the benefits in terms of facilitating a positive self-identity, providing an opportunity for choice and control, promoting social interaction and enhancing quality of life.
